Proof of payment above and also use this opportunity to solicit for funds to complete payment

4% of funds was generated from event ticket sales and camp fee which was also used at the event. This was a test model of how Steemcamp can raise funds her self with or without sponsors.

During this event, We tried so many ways we could have a perfect show and at the same time achieve it aim of decentralizing our offline community by bringing steem platform to creative individuals to eradicate poverty and unemployment in 3rd world countries

It was a challenge picking the right people to work with steemcamp and its also normal for contestants who was not picked to get vexed or rebel on steem platform.

$14,000 usd was approximately spent on steemcamp project from the 6 city tour to the grand finale. Thank God for seeing us through even when people who promised failed to support.

Our first phase was to look for individuals who can promote steem at the same time get support from the platform(April - June)

The Second Phase was Bringing them together, Brushing their skills and choosing the right people to work with at the grand finale (1st of july - 8th of July )

3rd Phase will be Getting a Hub(Steemcamp Accelerator Hub)which will be an entertainment office powered by Steem. Inside the hub, there will be an Audio and Visual Studio, and the hub will be a center used to on-board new people

4 phase; All ambassadors(winners of the event) will reach out to the public via Steemcamp pet project, Promote steem and prepare for another Steemcamp event same time next year

Note: 3rd -4th phase of Steemcamp will be explained fully soon
List of all New Steemcamp Ambassadors(winners) containing Musicians, Rappers, Comedian, Models and Dancers will be published

You can support us by curating post fromo #steemcamp and #steemnaira community, its will help newbies to stay and also help on-board new people.

Steemcamp is a Miracle, It looks like an event @ned steemit inc. powered. It was a leap of faith. We are also ready to move to other 3rd world country as time goes on.

The project was truly a success, i am glad i experienced everything.. Huge thanks to all who made it successful...
And thanks for involving @steemhelpinghand into a huge project like this, we are always a call away to support the community

This project really represents a real step change from Steemit's contribution. There are so many different abilities that hopefully can be honed with this activity which is directly decentralized to the blockchain system that brings in the next step of change.
